This is my first Hot deal so play nice....😉

Ok.. Prices...They hover arounf $30


I found it here
for $29😉


As for preformance, I have been getting 45MB/s from two old crappy Maxtors😀, so I suppose when I get my second 60GXP things will fly.

They have 2.8 in resellerratings and the shipping charge to $11 which make it $40. Do you still think it is hot deal?
 
hmm i got the SIDE RAID 100 from mwave for around 58 (with second day air). I got this card because it was recommended by anadtech in their IDE Raid article 🙂

I agree. I had bought this somewhere else with a better rating. I was just remembering it, and wanted to post, but since I didn't remember wherer I bought it, I just found the cheapest pricewatch.com price. my bad..I got mine for $35

When I remember the site, I;ll post it....


Still a good deal...
 
newegg now has this same card for $25 + $6.95 shipping

Now I'm trying to figure out whether to pick up this one, or the iwill SideRAID 100 for $43 + $5 shipping......

 
Any idea if this or the Iwill can be used as just plain ATA100/133 cards without the RAID? Just in case I don't want raid further down the line, I at least would like to use it as an IDE controller.

From the first post:

Supported:
JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks - No RAID mode.)
 
The teckram card has been great to me.


I am using two unseasonably crappy drives and getting great transferrates on my server.


Supports 2 simul. cards too
 


<< newegg has the iwill side raid 100 for $48 shipped. Very easy to setup. >>



I tried side raid and did some measurements with striping two of my seagate 7200rpms using HDTach and a striped array had slower throughput than the hard disk on its own...If you read newegg reviews, people will tell you the same. This card useless as far as raid goes
